“The Alpha Ultralight Touring Paddle by seven2 is one of their touring line of paddles. The Alpha Ultralight Paddle has ergonomically angled grips which guide the hand, wrist and forearm into a natural, comfortable position. The hydrophobic rubber of the grips cushions the hand allowing a more powerful grip on the paddle. The suspension flex stores and releases energy in the shaft during each paddle stroke and absorbs shock. The smaller shaft diameter of Seven2 paddles significantly increases strength while also reducing weight.

“The Player Whitewater Paddle with Fiberglass blade from Werner:  If you want play features but don’t want to be overwhelmed by big blades, the Player is an excellent choice.

“The Aquabound Shred carbon shaft paddle features an all new blade shape. With a little help from world champion kayaker Ken Whiting and friends, Aquabound has redesigned the Shred to complement all the changing kayaks on the market. The result is a blade shape with no flutter and lots of power. Not to mention it looks cool. The Shred Carbon shaft comes with black blades that are made using the same polythalamide material as that found in the white blades on the Shred Aluminum, but they are reinforced with carbon fibres. What does this mean? As with the white blades – tough, but also a little stiffer and lighter. The black blades come with only carbon shafting. *There is a modest $10.00 fee for shipping one-piece paddles due the extra expense of shipping an oversized package. To keep this fee to a minimum, Rock/Creek covers part of the actual shipping cost.
